Steins;Gate addpermalink

Are you ready for more timeline shenanigans? Steins;Gate is a more mature series than Kimi no Na wa, but both feature organic relationships between characters - both romantic and platonic - as well as a deceptively pleasant start.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu addpermalink

Both are phenomenal movies that handle a beautiful romance that explores the themes of loss as well as stretches the bonds of a relationship through time and space. Haruhi is a bit more introspective and downtrodden, while Kimi no Na wa is a more upbeat movie.

Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki addpermalink

-Same Story telling styles
-Amazing Soundtracks
-Gorgeous animation
-Emotional Stories
 

report Recommended by Yanderekiss

Easily two of the most heartfelt stories to be released in the past decade. With honest characterization and light fantasy/sci-fi elements, these stories are able to tell extremely deep, memorable, and emotional experiences that few other films can rival.  

report Recommended by heychrisfox

Maybe time can separate people. Maybe backgrounds can separate people. For a few that is the case. For Your Name and Wolf Children, that is not the case. Even with the differences in where people come from, or the literal boundaries time has on us. Both stories go to show that even these circumstances can be defeated.

Your Name is the odd relationship of Mitsuha and Taki as they go through inescapable body switches, and how that draws them together. Wolf Children is about Hana’s relationship with the anomalies of literal Wolf Children.

Both are great movies with amazing visuals, and elements of supernatural in both of them

Nagi no Asu kara addpermalink

These are both supernatural stories about some sort of incident taking place and the main characters trying to prevent it (I won't specify due to spoilers). They are beautifully animated, have great soundtracks, and leave you with a similar sense of satisfaction by the end. The scenery is fantastic in both. If you are looking for a good supernatural romance, either of these will likely please you. 

report Recommended by Xaeveax

On the surface, these two might seem like they don't have much in common, but they have a similar core plot that aren't usually in other anime. At first, the Nagi no Asu kara starts very slow as a school slice of life with some fantasy elements, but then something unexpected happens and changes the entire dynamic, putting aside the shoujo parts and focusing on a unique plot to save a group of people. This is very close to how Kimi no Na wa presents its story, it first appears to be a cute story with a strange fantasy twist then the characters find out they were connected for a reason and must save a town from being destroyed. Most likely you watched Kimi no Na wa first, so comparing it to an anime series might be difficult because the animation won't be on the same level, and the story is much slower but I promise that Nagi no Asu kara does pick up the pace. Both have a unique style that encompasses an everyday ordinary life with unbelievable fantasy elements. The actual plot and execution may be different, but both are great stories that share a beautiful style and similar storylines. read more

Both feature teenagers exploring the strange interconnections of love amidst supernatural occurrences in a tiny seaside town with strange rituals. Both have drop-dead gorgeous art and are created by some of the most respected storytellers in anime (Shinkai Makoto and Okada Mari). Both make clever use of an overused trope (body swap and timeskip).

It's more just the fact that these two are literally similar as opposed to feels. The art style, romance story, teen love. You get the drift. Also live in a time that's a lot like the present day, presented in a way that doesn't seem too out of touch with reality.

Good as movies, maybe something to take in the long run. I personally wouldn't say Soda Pop is all that good, but it is there if you want a try. It's all fun if nothing else.

The feels chart do not over shadow each other, they're equally beautiful.

I don't know why people didn't thought about Millennium Actress when people watched Kimi no na wa, that's practically a more modernized version of it.

I recommend this movie, I mean there's no body swapping in this movie but it does the same effect to your heart as much as Kimi no Na wa does, the art and love story is similar in predicaments because someone does die in it also so it is similar in ways. But i do highly recommend this movie to people who loved the touchy feely types of anime movies like Kimi no Na wa.

Ano Hana isn't about body-swapping like Kimi no Na wa. But what significantly makes them similar is the way the shows are extremely emotional. They both shock us with sad twists. The two shows also have similar background musics that trigger your sense of sympathy. They both also deal with superstitions involved around the main female characters. If you want to cry again, I'd strongly recommend this anime.

(Plus, they have the same character designer).

Clannad: After Story addpermalink

The artstyle are very similar with the surrealistic drawings that draws you into the scene; very detailed. The stories deal with a normal world and another vaguely explained world. The way everything works is not put in front of you and requires you to activate your brain and think things through; maybe even doing research. The stories are very powerful and both activate emotions very easily. The biggest difference is how Clannad takes the emotions very far and toys with your heart, while Kimi no na Wa takes simple steps to trigger a lesser level of sadness.

Things that smiliar? Supernatural things that only happen to two people and make them closer. 

Midori no Hibi is more silly (wtf, my right hand become a girl?) and old anime (clearly kimi no na wa is better), but you can still enjoy it especially if you already watch Kimi no Na wa and you can't forget about the movie and keep bugging you all the time and feel hopeless...

The thing that Midori no Hibi do better is how the anime ends. Shinkai definetly still could learn something from Midori no Hibi

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 addpermalink

Tragedy can bring forth hope in its own way. These two animes in particular show that in their own way. 

Tokyo Magnitude shows how our main protagonist lives her life after the earthquake that struck Japan and caused the people to have many losses. While Kimi no Na wa shows our two main characters who wind up in great confusion when living someone else's life and also how they were able to break out of the confusion.

These events bring about a huge change in these characters' lives. Changes that one, the viewer or character, will not expect.
